My Ideal Client

I specialize in therapy for men and teens/young adults dealing with anxiety, relationships, ADHD, and stress. I utilize real skills that are based on action and change. My approach is proven, collaborative, insight-oriented, and free of judgement/shame. My goal is to help you understand patterns and develop practical tools that lead to lasting change.

My Approach to Helping

I work with teens to help them communicate their needs and make sense of their world. With parents, I help them to find ways of communicating and connecting with their child. For adults, I help them to calm their mind and thoughts and find passion in their life, relationships, and work. I utilize an interactive and engaged approach to therapy, drawing from mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and depth theories. Each person is treated in a holistic manner to understand all the aspects that cause distress to your unique situation. These often involve an exploration of both mental and physical symptoms and their effects on your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Counseling Psychology from Saint Martin's University in Lacey, Washington. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Sociology from Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Outside of schooling, I have participated in several workshops and programs which focus on topics such as mindfulness, medication, trauma, and other therapeutic studies.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) External link

    ACT Therapy helps to explore your unique situation, connect with it, and make a positive change in your life.

  • Mindfulness-based External link

    Mindfulness theory encompasses a wide variety of techniques and skills. These processes allow for you to explore ways that have been used for centuries to create a calm mind and live in the present.

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) External link

    Cognitive theories are often one of the most beneficial evidence based practices utilized in therapy. This approach allows you to explore thought processes that take us out of the moment and can often create stress and anxiety.
